Fall River Dam

Otter was flowing around 2.5' at 80 CFS'ish this weekend. Didn't catch the lake levels, but still low for a fun run at Twins Falls or Mossy Ford.

Stayed tuned for more KoNzAsCoPe! panoramic goodies coming soon!

Bobcat

Derek and I were floating a small creek in Butler county last week when a movement on the bank caught my eye. " Derek!" I whispered urgently, "Bobcat!" He whispered back, "Camera!" The bag containing the camera was behind the seat of my kayak and I fumbled around inside feeling for it, never taking my eye off the cat. As I groped around the bobcat made a continuous low growling sound and followed us walking along the bank. I finally got the camera in my hands and managed to snap a few quick pictures . It was early morning and the bright light in the field behind the cat made it difficult to get a good shot, but I did capture a few decent ones before it wandered into the field.

Elk River Hiking Trail

Found these old photos from a few years ago. Not the best quality, but thought I'd share them anyhow.

Chase Channel Cat

There's just nothing like fishing next to a campfire. The warm fire, cool breeze and good conversation is rivaled only with the sound of a rod flying off the rock! That's what happened just minutes before landing this healthy 7.5lb channel cat out at Chase State Fishing Lake.
